This is, without a doubt, one of our favorite soups and go-to recipes when comfort food is desired. Sometimes, we forgo the sausage and make it a vegetarian meal. Or we trade it out for some shredded chicken or slices of smoked sausage, like Polska Kielba

Ingredients

1 pound ground sweet or mild Italian sausage
1 medium onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
4 cups low sodium vegetable or chicken broth
1 can fire roasted tomatoes (14.5 oz)
3 tablespoons tomato paste
9 ounces refrigerated three cheese tortellini (see notes)
4 cups fresh baby spinach
1/2 cup heavy cream

How To Make creamy tortellini soup

Step 1

Brown the Italian sausage over medium heat in a large Dutch oven or pot. After about 3 minutes, add the onions, celery, and carrots and continue cooking until the sausage is browned and the onions and celery are tender.

Step 2

Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic and Italian seasoning. Cook for 1 minute while stirring constantly. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of excess grease. Sprinkle in the flour and continue cooking for 2 minutes while stirring.
Step 3

Stir in the vegetable broth, fire-roasted tomatoes, and tomato paste. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and cook until the carrots are fork-tender.
Step 4

Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the cheese tortellini. Cook for 2-3 minutes for fresh tortellini, 3-5 minutes for frozen tortellini, or 10-11 minutes for dried tortellini. Add the spinach and continue cooking until the spinach wilts and tortellini are tender.
Step 5

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cream. Season to taste with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley or basil.
